in one of the manuals it is made clear that you MUST do byte operations on ALM, even though it is 32-bits wide. So, i changed all my int * locks declarations to char *locks, and, it worked!! Any other type of access to ALM is supposed to get you a SIGBUS, although the delivery of that signal is in my experience not a sure thing to say the least. Anyway ALM works just fine for me now. ron -- ron (rminnich@udel.edu)
